EBC Brakes Unleashes the Apollo Big Brake Kit for the GR86, BRZ & FR-S — Big Style, Bigger Stopping Power
🚨 The Big Brake Drop We’ve Been Waiting For
When it comes to stopping power, EBC Brakes doesn’t mess around. Their all-new Apollo Big Brake Kit is here for the Toyota GR86, Subaru BRZ, and Scion FR-S — and it’s a total game changer.
This isn’t just a mild “OEM+” upgrade. This is EBC going full send: precision-engineered, British-built, and unapologetically performance-focused. Whether you’re carving canyon roads or hammering out laps, the Apollo kit gives your front end the kind of stopping power that makes you trust your right foot again.
🔥 Meet the Apollo Big Brake Kit (Front 330x28mm)
Kit Type: Front Axle Only
Disc Size: 330x28mm Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs
Caliper Type: Apollo-4 (100 Series) Four-Piston Calipers
Included: Yellowstuff™ Pads, Braided Brake Lines, Super DOT 4 Fluid
Each kit replaces every major front-axle braking component with upgraded EBC parts — calipers, discs, pads, lines, and fluid — creating a perfectly balanced system that’s stronger, stiffer, and built to perform under heat.
💪 Apollo 4-Piston Calipers: Light, Strong, and Damn Good Looking
EBC’s Apollo calipers are no off-the-shelf setup. These four-piston units are machined from heat-treated low-pressure aluminum castings, reinforced with high-tensile 12.9-grade bolts, and designed using advanced FEA analysis for maximum rigidity.
In plain English: they’re light, strong, and won’t flex even under hard braking. The result? A firmer pedal feel, better modulation, and a confidence boost that’ll make your next track day a whole lot spicier.
Every caliper is finished using EBC’s high-temperature Teflon™ polyester coating, which outlasts standard powder coats — so your color stays poppin’ even after a few seasons of abuse.
Color options:
🟦 Storm Shadow Blue (BBK031BLU-1)
💛 Luminous Yellow (BBK031YEL-1)
⚙️ Fully-Floating 330x28mm Rotors: Designed for Heat and Punishment
The rotors are where EBC flexes their engineering muscle. Each rotor is a fully-floating two-piece design — allowing the outer iron ring to expand independently of the hub under heat, preventing stress cracks and warping.
Features include:
- 48 directional cooling vanes for maximum heat dissipation
- Drive bobbins machined from single-piece stainless steel
- “Swept Groove” slot pattern for consistent pad contact and dust evacuation
- Latest Thermic Black corrosion-resistant finish — because rust belongs nowhere near performance parts
🟨 Yellowstuff™ Pads: Road Manners, Track Confidence
Every Apollo Big Brake Kit includes EBC’s legendary Yellowstuff™ pads (DP4002SS). These are the hybrid warriors of the pad world — gentle on cold mornings, fierce under fire.
They offer:
- Excellent cold bite with minimal noise
- Fade resistance up to 550°C
- Proven track-day durability
- Strong pedal feedback without eating your rotors
In short: they’re your all-weather, road-and-track solution.
🧬 Braided Lines + Super DOT 4 Fluid = Consistent, Firm Pedal
No weak links here. Each kit comes with:
- Stainless braided brake lines — eliminating rubber line “ballooning” and keeping your pedal firm under pressure.
- EBC Super DOT 4 fluid (BF307+) — with a whopping 310°C boiling point, it outperforms most DOT 5.1 fluids and laughs in the face of fade.
Together, they ensure the same pedal feel lap after lap — whether you’re heel-toeing through the esses or panic-stopping on the street.
🧠 The Engineering Philosophy: Balance, Not Overkill
A big brake kit shouldn’t throw off your car’s dynamics — and EBC nailed that balance. The Apollo BBK is designed to work in harmony with the factory rear setup, maintaining proper brake bias and ABS calibration.
That means no “grabbiness,” no weird pedal modulation — just smooth, predictable, confidence-inspiring deceleration that feels OEM-refined but motorsport-born.

Q: Will it fit under my stock wheels?
A: The 330mm rotor size may require a minimum 17" wheel. Always confirm clearance before install (EBC provides a printable template).
Q: Are the pads street-legal?
A: Absolutely. Yellowstuff™ pads are ECE R90-approved for road use and perform beautifully for spirited driving and light track days.
Q: Do I need to upgrade my rear brakes too?
A: Not required. This front kit is designed to maintain proper brake balance with OEM rear setups — though pairing with EBC rear rotors and pads is a sweet upgrade path.
⚡ Final Thoughts: Stopping Power with Style
The EBC Apollo Big Brake Kit isn’t just about halting momentum — it’s about elevating your car’s entire driving experience. You’ll notice it from the first press of the pedal: a firmer bite, a sharper response, a confidence that lets you carry more speed into every corner.
And let’s be honest — those color options don’t hurt either. Whether you go Stealth Black for that OEM-plus stealth look or Storm Shadow Blue for the flex, these brakes make a statement even before you hit them.
So yeah, call it the perfect mix of form, function, and “holy sh*t” factor.
